White to Play

Pete Tamburro on

Published in Chess Puzzles

We're looking at c3 Sicilian positions. When things go right, White gets wonderful attacking positions like this one. This position is taken from a great new book of 2020 (!) miniature games by Carsten Hansen. If you like short games to play over here are over 2000 of them! Miniatures are like a chess dessert: small but delicious and brings a smile to your face.


From Zhigalko-Maletin, 2011: 1.Nf6+ gxf6 2.Qg4+ Kh8 3.exf6 and either mate or heavy material loss follows: 3...Rg8 3...Bxf6 4.Qh5 4.Qh4
